Pai said his in-laws get threatening phone calls in the middle of the night and his wife receives threatening phone calls while she is at work. Some of the threats, Pai told the Journal, involve slitting his children's throats.

The disclosure will help regulators spot anti-competitive practices, according to a summary of the rules distributed by the FCC. It said companies can make their disclosures via a publicly available, easily accessible company website or through the FCC's website, the agency said.
